World Polio Day . . . Click for Link!

October 24th is World Polio Day. We can be the ones who raise the dollar that ends this dread disease. The Rotary Club of Fernandina Beach will be observing World Polio Day by collecting and donating funds to the End Polio Now campaign administered by Rotary International. Every penny counts.

Rotary International is rated 4-4 stars on Charity Navigator, with a score of 97.78 / 100, meaning the vast majority of your donations to End Polio Now actually make it into the fight. Additionally, every dollar donated to the End Polio Now campaign is being matched 2-1 by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. One dose of the oral polio vaccine costs between $0.10 - $0.13, meaning your dollar, matched, could buy up to 300 doses of the lifesaving treatment out in the field.
